Summary

Van der Woude syndrome is a rare disorder of craniofacial development, characterized by the triad (congenital lip fistula, cleft lip and/or cleft palate). Discomfort caused by spontaneous or induced drainage of saliva/mucus when pressure is applied or during a meal as well as poor aesthetics match is one of the main complaints of patients with congenital lip fistula. This paper aims to describe an alternative technique for excision of the congenital fistula of lower lip in patient with Van der Woude syndrome, using gutta percha points and methylene blue for better identify the the fullest extent of the fistula. This approach aims to facilitate a dissection of fistula tissues providing better preservation of the tissues around the fistula, faster healing and better aesthetics lip of the patient.
